LESSON 6 (THE MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 33-40-If the Moon is in the sixth, the native will be poor and of diseased body. In his 36th year native will develop illicit relations with a widow. If the Moon is associated with a malefic the native will indulge in sinful deeds. If the Moon is in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu the native will be bereft of wealth, he will have dangerous enemies, will be quarrelsome, without brothers and will suffer from
stomach ailments. If this disposition watery places like ponds, wells, may prove dangerous for his life. If the Moon is in conjunction with a malefic the native will suffer from ill health. If the Moon is waning, it will give totally malefic results. If the Moon is in conjunction with a benefic the native will have strong constitution and will be free from diseases.

Comments-The Moon if posited in the sixth will lose all her good significations and the evil effects will be aggravated if the Moon comes under malefic influences. The native will indulge in sinful and immoral deeds because the 'sattvic' qualities of the planet will be destroyed by malefic influences. The Moon is a watery planet, therefore under malefic influences watery places will become a source of danger for the native. If the Moon in the sixth is under benefic influences the native will enjoy good health.
